Beauty 101: Budget Eyeshadows, Eyeliner & Mascara

Been a long while since I last wrote about beauty. Honestly I have yet to abandon my love for make up although it hardly shows on my face. I'm the low key type of beauty person..ha! Anyway, if you are like me who don't wish to spend such big buck on make up and would rather spend on the essentials, there are some product recommendations that you can get to include in your stash. Best time is now if you want to get discounted price for some drugstore products.

They do stay on but I've yet to test for 24 hours and the colour is intense. If there is one shade you wish to get, you can get the shade shown above called Hourglass Beige.

They are also affordable! I can't remember the actual price but I do know it is around SGD14.00 and some places are currently selling them on offer at only SGD11.00 plus!

Next is the Maybelline Color Tattoo which is NOT available in Singapore but it's just as great a drugstore product as the slightly higher end Mac products.

Colours I would recommend is Bad to the Bronze and Tough as Taupe

Maybelline Tough as Taupe

Maybelline Bad to the Bronze

I personally have bad to the bronze because for a lazy person, sometimes I don't need multiple colours on my eyelids especially when I'm often running late..heh. But this is a good colour to have has a bit of shimmer and yet neutral enough for you if you don't like bold colours on your lids.

Tough as taupe works great as a base. It has no shimmer and you can pile on colours.

Both are best used with your finger although they are also best to pat on rather than rub on your lids.

Need to line your eyes with an intense colour but you can't really sink into the reality that Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner cost $50?

You can get the Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner and the retail price is about SGD20.00.

Still think that it is overpriced? What isn't in Singapore? Look at me, I'm a cheapo too. Currently some NTUC Fairprice hypermart is having a 25% sales on Maybelline products. Sasa is having an up to 50% storewide sales so you can get them at less than the retail price for a limited time period.

One more for the road! Ahh yes..mascaras. Hate the mess later but love the big eye effect it gives.

I've got a pet peeve with people wearing false eyelashes that are so obvious. I know the pain of putting them on and it beat having the clean up the mess later. But I prefer those natural looking fake eyelashes rather than the ones that look like they pasted some thick black hair on their lashes

Anyhoo, if you just don't have the time to put on them falsies, try the Maybelline Falsies by Volume Express. Personally I have been a fan of Maybelline Volume Express and currently I am using the Magnum if I want intense looking eyelashes.

But apparently this is an even better product...after I had bought the Magnum -__-

I've heard a lot of great reviews on them by beauty bloggers and it is also not a high end brand and yet still pack a punch and give you that intense 'I have falsies on...NOT!' look.

Maybelline the Falsies Volum' Express

Retail price is around SGD20.00 so it's best to make use of the current available discount from Watsons, NTUC Fairprice hypermart or Sasa.

It's Great Singapore Beauty Sales, baby!

I started writing again in my journal when I came across an old notebook where I did some creative writing and then reminisce about the time I didn't have any internet at home. I didn't even have a computer. At some point, I did have and back then was the dial up internet, lol. But it was still a form of entertainment, at a much slower speed, haha.Anyway, I was also thinking how simpler life was back then and how less dependent we were on our phones and the internet. So I relied on writing and there was no online journal so I wrote inside my notebooks. Honestly it was quite embarrassing reading through them but these pages shaped my world back then. I stopped writing for quite a while this year because I didn't feel like it. It's also as though I'm repeating myself. I would say that I promise to do this or that but never seem to come around and do something progressive. I feel as though I reset my life so many times without any much progress. So perhaps I would ta…

Last week, we rounded up our Marina Bay Carnival 2018 with the games, which we sucked at by the way. Honestly it was annoying how we throw money away like that, haha. We had enough rides..or rather had enough with rides, gosh that Viking ride made me broke out in sweat. I still don't understand how people can do an IG story/selfie/wefie while they were on that Viking ride that swing like a damn pendulum.Anyway, we started off with the Euro Ride which was fun but alas, too brief. I think there were like two points that plunged down when we reached the top and then we were back to square one. It would have been better if we went at least two rounds but oh well. Now the Viking, that felt like forever, haha.I told myself not to scream and though I didn't give out a girly scream, it was more of an exhilirating scream while looking at the guy sitting opposite, with a face who couldn't care less. I was thinking, don't you feel anything? The various reactions on the ride.I was…
